DEBUT Ana Karina loves producing Marry Me, You Fool!, her reality TV show. The other thing she loves is lists; Ana has a list for everything: the perfect date, the perfect restaurant, even the perfect husband. But when Ana finds out her perfect show is about to be cancelled, she decides to make some changes, even if it means letting some of those perfect lists go up in smoke. While helping her best friend Gia, plan her wedding to “Mr. Perfect,” Ana maneuvers to get a date with the best man, Landon, who fits everything on Ana’s list. But the mystery of who Landon really is to Gia drives Ana to make some rather foolish decisions. Why not find one guy for every trait on her perfect list? Fernando is so romantic, and TJ is incredibly sexy, Philip an accomplished artist. She can check the list off, one man at a time, but this game ends with broken hearts and lessons learned.
VERDICT It’s clear from the outset that veteran reality TV producer Decos knows her subject matter, and Ana is a likable, fun character who will make readers laugh and believe in finding true love.
